This version of Alex is alpha and hopefully not too buggy. I tested it mostly under the Arena GUI not too much under winboard. A program like Alex can be improved a lot over time and, despite the "low expectattion" I would like to see it play at master level. The "low expectation" is more about me not having enough much free time and other things. Rgards, NMB
